Ok my technical peers, a brain teaser for the first of the week
The stats:
*1988 Jeep Cherokee, has been starting without problems this morning won't start. Engine turns at normal speed just doesn't seem to crank up.
The Parts:
--New
*Jasper motor (3 mos old)
*Injectors (3 weeks old)
*MSD Ingition and coil (3 Mos old)
*Throttle Position Sensor (2 mos old)
*Vaccumm Harness (2 wks old)
--Old
*TDC Sensor (12 years)
* Starter ( 4years)
* Alternator (1.5 years)
* Battery ( 1 year)
The Brain teasor - Jeep has been running fine. Took her up 4 wheeling two weekends ago - no problems - drove her up in the mountains on Saturday - No problems - Didn't drive on Sunday. Today(Monday) Tried cranking, motor turns at normal speed, plenty of battery power, just doesn't seem to fire up.
As I understand it if the TDC Sensor died the jeep just would not do anything, right? I am thinking that, since I am blindly troubleshooting that I would check the fuel Pump, Starter, Battery, TDC sensor, and Alternator. The fact that it just went from starting fine to not starting has me irked though.
The X factor here is that it is Miller Moth season in Colorado and I don't know what those cursed things might have gotten into under the hood - Alternator Brushes?
Any guesses?
